The members of Orbital Medicine have direct experience as providers and researchers in the aerospace environment. In the past they have provided launch and landing support for the NASA Space Shuttle at Kennedy Space Center and participated in research in the microgravity environment on parabolic aircraft. All members of Orbital Medicine are Board Certified in Emergency Medicine and are current practitioners in Emergency Departments around the country.

Our mission at Orbital Medicine is to provide specialized medical capabilities for microgravity research and spacecraft flight operations.

Our areas of research include those of emergency response capabilities and research and development of medical devices, techniques, and medical response capabilities for the aerospace medicine community.

The Exploration Medical Capability Element of the NASA Human Research Program is charged with reducing the risk of the “inability to adequately recognize or treat an ill or injured crew member.”

Dr. Cuttino previously worked in support of Space Shuttle Operations at the Kennedy Space Center. As an Emergency Physician, he continues to provide health care and medical support at community gatherings and special events.

We can also provide medical support services before, during and after flight operations for the commercial spaceflight industry.

We are also able to provide payload or mission specialists for the commercial spaceflight industry with extensive medical, science, and engineering backgrounds. If you are in need of someone to assist with microgravity research we can supply personnel.
